If you pair the raspberry pi with cache in cloudfare I think you can host on it - I haven't tried it myself, but have been thinking about it.

Yup. That’s actually what I did :)
And then the reason I stopped hosting my site on my RPi was because I felt like, well if I depend on Cloudflare anyways, I might as well just use a VPS, or GitHub pages, or Cloudflare Pages :p
But there is something appealing in hosting things from home still. And doubly so when doing it without relying on Cloudflare etc
What I will do however, is that next time I set up some internet reachable hosting of content at home I will maintain one version of it that is directly served from the machine at home itself, and then I will keep an up to date copy of it on one of my externally hosted servers.
- One early RPi I bought when RPi was very new to the market. I played around with it for a while and then I put it in a drawer.
- Months later I pulled it out of the drawer and started hosting my website on it for a while. I have since moved on from using RPi at home for hosting any of my sites. Might do again at some point in time.
- I use an SBC as one of the pieces of electronics that I use for controlling over 9000 LED pixels on a sculpture for which I created the light setup and programming. The LED strips we bought are from China and were supposed to be IP65 but even so we now have a bunch of the pixels showing only red, which is bad. No fault of the SBC. Also the SBC in this installation is not an RPi. But relevant nonetheless.
- I hooked up an image sensor with a lens to an RPi and put it in a surveillance camera housing, and added PoE to it. Currently not in use but would like to deploy somewhere in the future if given the chance to do so.
- I have an RPi that I have connected a 5TB drive to in an enclosure I bought from AliExpress. This RPi I both ssh into from my phone to download things for the future, and I also run a squid proxy on it via which one of my laptops connect.
